HerSpace Junior

What?
HerSpace Junior is an after-school art club that uses creativity to empower young women to make their own positive choices.

We focus particularly on building self-confidence and self-awareness in a safe space, as well as building positive relationships in a group. Of course we also provide knowledge and skills surrounding art and design, and have lots of fun! This term the group will be taking part in a project about identity, as well as doing a Discover and Explore Arts Award.

Who?
A visual art group for girls aged 6-11.

When?
HerSpace Junior runs every Monday during term time from 3.30pm to 5.30pm.

Where?
Sessions take place at the Ark-T Centre on Crowell Road in Cowley
There is a suggested donation of £3.00 per session to pay for materials and refreshments.
However, we understand that payment might not be possible for everyone

Creativity Camps is part of Creativity Changes Lives, a varied and inclusive creative arts programme of groups and activities that take place every week at Ark-T including Herspace SR & Hersapce JR, Theatre Makers and Young Oxford Creatives.

We use the power of creativity and connection to increase confidence in learning, improve emotional resilience and wellbeing, and enhance a sense of community and leadership.
